• Moses and the Freedom Fanatics

  For....We.....are.....Freedom, Fanatics.  Fanatics for Freedom.  Yes Freedom Fanatics, fanatics for freedom.

  I was actually thinking back on this old production that was put on at church when I was a kid.  I was Moses....can you imagine that?  An Asian Moses...with dreadfully crazy hair.  Ah, yes those were the days.  Why am I writing about this you ask?  Well, like I said, I was thinking back about it, and lo and behold what was the Hebrew Scripture reading this past Sunday?  It was the birth of Moses.  It's funny how things coincide like this all the time.  Now, if only relationships coincided like this, but I digress. 

  I think back about the what I had back then, and I have to say that I couldn't complain about much.  I really had a good "childhood."  I made friends easily, kept out of trouble, and generally was carefree.  At least, that's what I remember.  Sometimes, I wish I was back in those days.  No worries about what I was doing with my life.  Noone pushing you to be more focused.  No reason to search for someone who is in the ever expansive place of "out there."  I think that people sometimes forget that.  It's true that some people have had rough childhoods, so this story isn't for them.  But for others who rarely reflect on what has happened in the past.....I think....up on examination find that it really wasn't bad as they thought back then. 

  Hmphf....well.  If there is one thing I wish I could do again.  It's to play chess.  I know I could play it now, but that's not what I mean.  My opponent would be the same.  And I think....there's only two people...maybe three people in the entire world that knows what I'm talking about.  Coincidence would have to really be on top of things for that happen, and the Muses would have to work awfully hard.  But....wouldn't THAT be something?
